Polar Bears of Spitsbergen June 2006/June 2008

Cruising the pack-ice very slowly, we discovered this Polar Bear and her cubs in the afternoon of June 18th 2006, in the Hinlopen Strait on the eastside of Spitsbergen.
They had just caught a Bearded Seal and were feasting on it.
We were very lucky to be able to watch this wonderfull event for almost three quarters of an hour.
